| Guitar Solos More of a 'lick' than a solo, but Brian May on Bohemian Rhapsody...Then Stevie R V's version of Little Wing...Santana's Samba Pa Ti.....goosebump city! | |
| Magnepan 3.6R biamp crossover Another option is to find a used Magnepan XO1 crossover. That will allow you to biamp with amps that are not gain matched, and also bipass the caps/inductors for the LF. They go for about $100, though they're pretty rare.I have one sitting around ... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Hi Ben,I didn't really miss the point, it's been made already, and I agree with it, so didn't feel the need to restate it.In some ways it's like the chicken and the egg scenario. I actually waited over 3 yrs before finally buying a Universal playe... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying It's an interesting post mortum.My take is that we've all had 20 years to optimize our Redbook hardware and get it sounding pretty good. Then along comes SACD with the promise of better sound quality, so we go out and plop down $1000 on a new SACD... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? Just a last minute reminder for folks in and around Green Bay who may be interested in attending the meeting at Dan's place tomorrow (11th June) around 1pm.Again, it's a casual format and you're welcome to stop by. Details are here: http://newaudi... | |
| New Oasis If their music has ceased to be entertaining, the banter between the brothers Gallagher will always provide a source of amusement. I get a charge out of their character and I cut them some slack when their music takes a detour in the wrong directi... | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables Sorry Rsbeck, but we must agree to differ. I know my system and I know when the higher and lower frequencies are not sounding clear and extended. I'm past the 'it's all in the imagination' argument, so if you want to get into that one you'll need ... | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables The price of Gold has rocketed of late, the UK are trying to take the surplus cash from their gold reserve fund and use it to relieve third world debt, but it seems that's not high on the US agenda. That aside, there are some interesting propertie... | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables Has anyone used Gold cables? If so what do you think about their sonic characteristics (if any) compared to copper/silver?I'm burning in a pair of Pear IC's presently, and getting some nice results considering <100 hrs of play time. http://www.... | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac I was interested enough in this whole topic to buy an Airport Express and check into it for myself. I followed some of the info on Audioengr's website and used the Exact Audio Copy software for ripping CD's uncompressed to my PC HD (Compaq tower, ... | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Nina Simone....Sarah Vaughan....Peggy LeeJoss Stone isn't exactly Jazz, but a refreshing change from some of the stuffy Jazz vocalists doing the rounds, dare I say. | |
| Need advice on speaker cables The V12 is a tad dark sounding. I could imagine the Virtual Dynamic Nite II's sounding splendid with the Cary's. I've owned both products, but never had them working together. So take my comments with a pinch of salt, but buy the VD's now.Rooze | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? Thanks to all who were able to attend the meeting in De Pere on Memorial Day weekend, it was a fun time!Notes from the meeting are here: http://newaudiosociety.com/meetings/05-29-2005.htmThanks to Adam at Pear Cable for supplying a set of IC's for... | |
| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? It's taking a slightly different slant on things, but with many of the people that I come across, if they consider me a whacko, then I take that as the kindest compliment. These people are so mainstream and so into the most mundane materialistic e... | |
| What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range Pugstub, the world is your oyster in that price range. Musical Fidelity make the A3 24 which sold for $1200 new and can be had for around $550.EAD made the wonderful 7000 series III that I've seen go for around $450 and sold for almost $3000 when ... |
